Now that the facts are laid bare, there's no need for her to feign concern and scream, "Oh dear, why is there a dead person here?" To her, that would be a complete waste of her energy.
Since he was able to come along, it means he already knew her background. At least in this matter, she can no longer hide it from everyone.
"Ah!" The blood-covered female corpse next to the cliff came into view. Mo Jingnian screamed and quickly took a few steps back.
"Your Majesty... what's going on?"
“As you can see, she’s dead.” Yu Qianqian rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her fair and slender wrist. She looked up at him and gave a brief, nonchalant explanation. “But before I could even make a move, she took her own life.”
“I see…” Mo Jingnian gazed thoughtfully into the distance, then picked up where Yu Qianqian left off, mimicking her tone, speaking slowly and with a smile, “However, it’s fortunate that it wasn’t Your Highness who was injured, otherwise this humble subject would never have peace.”
In fact, ever since he saw Yu Qianqian jump off the cliff, he had followed her along the mountain path out of curiosity.
Having witnessed the entire scene, he had a rough idea of why the purple-clad maid chose to commit suicide. But since this matter was none of his business, and Yu Qianqian didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask.
Yu Qianqian clapped her hands together and ran to Mo Jingnian in a flash, suddenly changing the subject, "Ah! Right, right, didn't you just say you were going to show me your face?"
"Then let's start now."
As she walked along the lakeshore, she beckoned to Mo Jingnian and urged her on. Amidst the deep rocks and green duckweed, her petite figure danced merrily, and behind her, a series of afterimages lingered for a long time.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was jumping and skipping like an elf, he couldn't help but smile: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to make a trip to the Underworld Moon Palace. It probably won't be long before I can get everything ready."
That's really rare!
This girl is so lively and energetic; she's nothing like the person who just solemnly referred to herself as "this Empress" a moment ago.
Yu Qianqian casually plucked an apricot blossom, held it in her mouth and swayed it gently. A breeze caressed her face, and her hair fluttered like smoke on either side of her cheeks. A smile appeared on her face as she walked side by side with him, saying, "I've heard that your medical skills are very impressive, and you're known as a miracle doctor in the area. I'd like to see for myself today. You don't mind, do you?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Mo Jingnian, who always unconsciously appeared reserved when facing Yu Qianqian, finally couldn't help but laugh when he saw the scene before him. "Your Highness is of noble birth, and it is a great honor for me to serve you. I would be more than willing to do so."
In just a few days since entering the palace, he felt as if he had suddenly become a different person after being inexplicably brought here by Yu Qianqian, and everything had fallen into chaos.
The two continued their banter on the road, and time flew by. Before long, they had left the cliff and Qingyun Temple.
Stepping into the Underworld Moon Palace in the blink of an eye, the scenery ahead is refreshing. There are dozens of suspended pavilions in the courtyard, towering into the clouds with no ground below. The pavilions and terraces in the garden complement each other with the beauty of the flowers. Every place you see gives you a sense of immense pressure, reminiscent of the grandeur of the General's Mansion in the North City back then.
